Hello,
I would like to know if the low-latency patches for the linux kernel improve the reliability of the disc i/o objects (readsf~ writesf~ sfread~ etc..)
I have not made an extensive testing but with all of them, despite having some SCSI stuff and decent CPUs, I get cliks and pops even with a few tracks (8 monos or so).
I tried different amounts of buffer without managing to get a reliable solution, with the pd audiobuf setting and with the buffer arg of readsf~ In fact I know that I can read easily more than 24 monos tracks with "broadcast2000" which is a multitrack recorder for linux... Why cannot get this kind of performance with PD ?
So 1) have you the same poor performance with PD disc i/o objects ? 2) Is it specific to pd linux ? 3) Do i set something not as it should ? 4) Is it because of no special optmisation in pd for disc i/o ? 5) how much tracks can you play on which hardware ? 6) Does The patchs for the linux kernel solves the problem, some facts ?
Thx for any help,
Linium
